1.0 on the Mac is great! Noticably faster. why, it even displays text from Slashdot correctly! (1.0 tended to overwrite links onto the plain text of the message-at least on my 10.2.8 machine). 1.0
Remember though that the X-Prize is for suborbital flight. The height isn't important-it is the speed. Spaceship 1 won't have to deal with reentry temperatures, making it MUCH simpler to build and fly. If X-Prize was for an orbital flight, or any Mach 25 flight, there wouldn't be any entries. Is it the first step to cheap flight or just a cheap flight? Only a real reentry system will tell.
